Camps and Mission Trips

There is always that emotional connection a person has when they have been away from the distractions and craziness of being at home... it's an emotional connection that an individual feels with someone they have spent some time with and have had conversations with. We like to call this "mountain-top high" or a "camp-experience". When a person spends an entire week with God, I would hope they would feel like they are closer to God... but what happens to that feeling after a person gets back? How do I keep that "feeling"?


As parents, we can help reinforce what camp or a mission trip began... take some time this week to pray for you kids. And when you get a chance, ask them some questions... here's some to get you started:

  • What do you remember most from camp/mission trip?
  • What is one spiritual truth or encouragement you remember from camp/mission trip?
  • How did God show up?
  • If you could go back to camp/mission trip and do it again, what would you do differently? Why?
